Powder ski

Hi all, I am in need for a new powder ski and am looking for thoughts on what I should get.

I am wanting a predominately powder ski but also versatile so perform in:

- deep powder

- the chopped up crud at the end of the day

- able to hold an edge on the trail to get back to lifts

- the tight trees but also at high speeds on big open faces

I am an aggressive skier

Looking forward to your ideas
 
Moment Bibbys

ON3P Billy goats

Black Crows Nocta

many more than these but take a peek at them. all three will slay the powder and bust through chop like nobodys business. I ordered them from most playful to stiffest as you did not really give much info on your skiing type or home mtn. The bibbys are jibby and fun; very easy to slash and slarve down any terrain. As well, they are possibly the most nimble of the bunch but the billy goats are not far behind them. I ride both the billys and the bibbys and love both. for my personal preference, billys take the cake because they rail groomers the hardest out of any fatter ski ive ridden to date so they're perfect for the powder day and the crud busting blue bird the next day. The noctas are more of a powder killer. they are fully rockered and are pretty jibby in the powder. this being said, they are damp as the fuck and will destroy crud and have no speed limit on groomers. i did take a few groomer laps on them at a demo day but not enough to get a real feel for the sticks.

tl:dr

Bibbys are jibby

Billys are the most versetile

Noctas are a true powder ski
 
Thanks Zypher

ah a racer. if you arent looking for a playful ski and are okay with something with little tail rocker then take a peek at the moment governor and the on3p steeple 116
 
Well if you're skiing in Verbier, why not check the Swiss brands then:

Faction CT 4.0

DOWN Throwdown 125

Movement Fly 116

icelantic nomad 115

4frnt kye 110 (its called th col now)

the nomad has more float, but the kye works better in chopped up crud
 
Billy Goat or Bibby Pro for sure. I'd argue the Bibby is a more versatile ski but the goat is gonna do better for you in soft snow. Can't really go wrong with either. The Bibby is gonna do better in more conditions but the Goat will float and smear better in soft snow. Both of them charge
